Summary: Photo Rob aka Robert Mayer is a respected NYC photographer that cut his teeth in the trenches of the Knitting Factory club's long-defunct Tribeca location. Our host Peter Agoston happened to be the in-house talent buyer at the time (2007-2009) and among his nightly shows there, many hip-hop parties would be documented by Photo Rob. Dutifully stationed back-stage, Rob captured a very special page in the history of NYC nightlife - photographing shows Peter Agoston booked w/ the likes of Q-Tip, Roc Raida, Busta Rhymes, Sean P, Chuck D, Rakim, Pete Rock, Diamond D, Lord Finesse, Rhymefest, Pharoahe Monch, Jazzy Jay, Peter Rosenberg, DJ Vlad, ?uestlove, Nice & Smooth, Stetsasonic, Gary Wilson, Big Jeff, Black Moon, Odd Nosdam, Jel, Dante Ross, J-Zone, Lil Sci, Lil Dap, Flying Lotus, Black Thought and countless more. In this episode we riff nostalgia - it's a fun, casual chat that we hope you enjoy. Lots of gems in there. Please subscribe and spread the word to all the heads you know!!!!
